Huddersfield Town manager Stan Ternent has left the club by mutual consent. Ternent only took charge at Huddersfield in April, but leaves the club 16th in League One, having won only four of 15 league games this season despite signing 11 players in the summer.

Assistant manager Ronnie Jepson and first-team coach Mick Docherty have also left the club, along with vice-chairman Andrew Watson, who played a key role in Ternent's appointment. Ternent, who has a good record of gaining promotion in the lower divisions, had been expected to at least take the Terriers to the play-offs in their centenary season.

"The club wishes them every success in the future," read a statement on the club's website. "Huddersfield Town has some great supporters and tremendous potential as well as great history and the search is now on to find someone who can harness these elements and take the club forward."

Huddersfield's chairman-elect Dean Hoyle became the club's biggest shareholder in April and will take over from current chairman Ken Day at the end of the year. Hoyle, a lifelong Terriers fan, announced a cut-price centenary season-ticket offer and over 16,000 fans responded. But despite hefty player investment Ternent and assistant Jepson have failed to build any momentum and, by acting now, Hoyle and the Huddersfield board will be hoping their successors can help get the club's centenary campaign back on track.
